The Algerian government has reinstated visa requirements for all Moroccan passport holders wishing to enter the country.

In a statement, the government claims that Morocco has exploited the lack of visa requirements between the two countries to engage in activities that threaten Algeria’s stability and national security.

They say these activities include organising networks for organized crime, drug and human trafficking, smuggling, illegal immigration, and espionage.

Thami Ngubeni spoke to Ibrahima Kane, a Senior Policy Adviser at the Open Society Foundation Africa Regional Office.
